Prevost is much better than Parolin based on what we know. I knew we weren’t going to get a Muller or Sarah, but we also didn’t get a fire-breathing Marxist.
If Pope Leo XIV wanted to be a continuation of Francis, he would have been Francis II. Instead, he sought continuity with the Pre-Vatican II Popes (as Benedict did) and did not become John Paul III, John XXIV or Francis II.
He is quiet, moderate in temperament, and inclined to diplomacy rather than diktat. We won’t get all of what we want, but the beatings should decrease substantially.
What a difference a few days make. Last week, so many on Free Republic had condemned Leo as a liberal in the mold of Francis. And also criticized his Twitter comments opposing Trump and Vance on illegals.
Well, knee perk reactions may not be lasting opinions.
